ok, (sorry should have been clearer) I am just looking to add generic functions to main.js - and the methods will be added to the sandbox to be available in a view, I also do not wish to load arbitrary functions in a view. I am not looking to add many, but main.js is getting big and it would be more manageable if we could use load (at the moment I am using a pre-processor to create main.js).
Load will be available in main.js, it will not be available in the views - the sandbox takes care of that. I doubt I will be the only one who wants to add generic functions to a server since _show has been implemented and generic functionality from external libraries would be useful in this application. It is easier to maintain if generic functions can be added main.js not in views as such there either needs to be a pre-process in couchdb to create the main.js (so a windows batch file or shell script) or the load() function needs to be enabled or main.js is going to grow and grow. Jan, unless I am mistaken CouchApp does not change main.js?
